kde 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade problem

[vasilys]

Hi everyone,
I am using this guide KDE4.2.* (How To Add) Guide. - openSUSE Forums to upgrade my kde 4.1.3 to 4.2.
While trying to update the kde42 desktop though, I get the following conflicts (and I am sure there will be other people getting it, since my system is pretty fresh):

This is just a list of conflicts without possible solutions. I can upload a full list here if you guys need to. Btw, I am using OpenSUSE 11.1

Could you please open a terminal and post the output of

zypper lr -u -p

Need to check which repositories you have and their priorities.

[pilotgi]

You need to add this repo to YaST to solve all the qt problems:

Index of /repositories/KDE:/Qt45/openSUSE_11.1

For the other kde programs, just select the option not to update.

I was going to suggest the same thing but...

*Some users have been adding additional QT repositories – But this is not necessary.

There's a problem with it not even being able to find libqt-4.4.3 which is actually in the update repository. So either that repository is not active or there's another problem. Which is why I asked for the zypper output.

Take Care,

Ian

Hi. Did you check the priorities of your repos?

I tried to add this repository and called it "qt repository", and also set its priority to 99. I now get a shorter list of conflicts. Here it is - nopaste.com (beta)
Btw, thanks a lot for fast replies, you guys are really friendly here Hopefully I will become helpful soon too.

You need to disable #3 and #4 they are conflicting with #6 and #7

see this guide
KDE4.2.* (How To Add) Guide. - openSUSE Forums

Then do unconditional update in the 6 and 7 repo's (kde 42's)
you don't need any extra QT stuff
Post dependency issues if you need to

****it, after updating libqt4 from 4.4.3 to 4.5.1, my desktop got messed up... Taskbar, icons are all over each each other, can't open any programs on desktop folder, can't even press the Start (main) button in the left lower corner... Only alt+F2 works. Please help... I really need to fix it back!!!

[caf4926]

reboot and pause the boot by pressing the down arrow, now move back to the default boot and press backspace to clear all boot arguments - then just type the number: 3
hit enter

At the login prompt enter your username and password
Next do su and enter your root password

Now type: yast
hit enter

This will/should start yast in basic mode (keyboard navigation)
If you have not changed the repos as I suggested, do that first. Then in software management do the unconditional update.

As an alternative way, Some users have run the terminal commands

zypper ref

zypper dup

with success.
